ALBANY, June %. Liquor dealsrsin every part OF
the State will think when they read the news given
below that their best friend David b. Hill-has
betrayed them He has signed General Curtis's bill
forbidding thssa OF liquor In FIVE gallons or Upward
in the cities and villages which do not grant
retail licenses to sell liquor. The Governor makes
wry face in signing the bill, excusing himself to the
liquor dealers and lecturng the temperance people in
luxurious explanation. 1t is obvious IRON his mem
that he seeks by signing this solitary temper
ance measure 10 allay the anger aroused among
the Temperance people of the State by his previous
yctoes of TEMPERANCE bills He vetoed the bill forbid
ding the sale OF liquor in the Capitol, the Crosbyiigh
License bill, vedder Liquor Tax bill. and the bill
forbdding the sale OF liquor to the Keepers OF the
Willard Insane asylum, but he signs the hye-calon
bill Ii is poor Offset all the other bills that have
been vetoed. New-York lost So, 100000 income by
the veto the High License bill and the State between
So 100000 and 81, 000,0D0 by the veto OF the Neddcr
bill The five gallon bill will enable Temperance ooin-
munties to prevent the sale OF liquOi oy wholesale
dealers to their population and in fact will establish
prohibition in the local option towns AID villages OF
the State. They able to stop the sale OF liquor
at retail the new law will give them the power to
prevent Its sale at Wholesale. But the Republican
LIE ,islature which persistentiv solyh to cheek the
sale OF liquor in the State and by its persistence as
forced the Governor to sign at least one temperance
measure is entitled to the credit of the act The Gov
ernor's memorandum on the act is given below:
